Temple B`nai Or Bulletin - American Jewish Archives
Temple B'nai Or Bulletin From Rabbi Rossoff WHAT DOES JUDAI SM HAVE TO DO WITH MY ELECTRIC BILL? Today, we speak of a new globalism, of a global economy and of the Internet. And yet, beyond the economics, with the help of technology yet transcending it, we see so much more clearly now that we live on an ever-shrinking planet, connected in a world wide web of existence, diverse and interdependent, wondrous and fragile, awesome and sacred. We need to reconnect with the earth, fmding new and old ways to connect with the conviction that ''the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness," and all that implies, both spiritually and ethically. Many of us enjoy going out and experiencing nature, whether hikiIlg or biking down Patriot's Path, rafting down the Colorado River or simply tending a flower in our own backyard. We marvel at the vast beauty of the forests and the hills, we are in awe of the intricacy of a spider's web. We feel humbled by the vast array of stars and planets in the night sky. Jewishly speaking, communing with nature also provides us with moments of relax ation and renewal, especially on Shabbat, and gives us the perspective of the larger scheme of which we are a part. But for us Jews, the natural world around us is not only for our moments of spiritual fulfillment. blessing to For better or for worse, and it is a mixed be sure, our ancestors believed that God created the world for human pur poses. T he late Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, one of the greatest spiritual leaders of this century, wrote how we human beings live both in harmony with the environment, and yet as a species which uses nature for our own benefit. We are a part of the world and apart from it. We live in the tension between the two attitudes of who we are and what our role is in this world. As of late, we have tended towards the version which allows us to use creation for our purposes, often forgetting that with the right to use is the responsibility not to abuse. In the creation myth, God gives us power over the natur al world but commands us to protect it as well. "As my ancestors planted for me," said Honi in the days of the Talmud, "So shall I plant for my children." Or as one sage put it, "It is not that we inherit the world from our parents with all its resources and its wonders. We borrow it from our children." The earth is the Lord's, not ours. God entrusted this world to us and said to use it and to guard it. In the words of our friend Leonard Fine, head of Religious Action for the From the Rabbi continues on page 2 Volu1T1c 45, NU1T1bcr 2 October 1999 OCTOBER SHABBAT CELEBRATION ANDWORSffiP Friday (1) at 7:30 p.m. Family Shabbat Evening Service Consecration of New Students Simchat Torah Candle Blessing: Linda Truesdale Introduction to Kiddush: Aaron Berg Kiddush: Adam Berg and Sara Truesdale In honor of their upcoming wedding, Deborah Horn and Ronald Wolfson will receive a wedding blessing.

From the Rabbi continuedfrom page 1 Refonn Movement, "The state of our natural environment is a profoundly religious ques tion." More and more, the decisions we make about our everyday lives will impact on the world Telephone: 973-539-4539 around us. Case in point: we who live here in New Jersey will soon be asked if we wish Fax: 973-539-2758 to buy our electricity from another vendor. We will be given many different options. It E-mail: temple@edipse.net seems, for many people, the decision will be made based on price: W hoever can sell me Nursery School: 973-267-6424 the same product for the cheapest price will have my business. It makes sense, except for Home Page: http://uahcweb.org/nj/moms-tbo Rabbi Donald B. Rossoff Cantor Bruce M. Benson Rabbi Emeritus z. David Levy the fact that the price we pay is not always registered in our checkbooks. It will soon be clear that some of the least expensive electricity will be that which is imported from the midwestern states, from plants using fossil-based fuel like coal. These generators gener ate much more than electricity. They generate tons and tons of toxic pollutants into the air, air, which, by the way, will be jet streamed our way not too long after it is fouled. With these pollutants in this air comes increased risk of allergies and respiratory disease. As usual, especially vulnerable will be the children. This is a religious issue, for the care of this planet, of God's "earth and all that dwell there," has been put into our hands; and the bottom line cannot always be the bottom line. How we choose our electricity is not only an economic question, it is a profound moral Rabbinic Intern decision. Elizabeth Goldstein On Rosh Hashanah, our President, Linda Haan, announced the fonnation of a new Temple committee, Judaism and the Environment. With Board member Michael Rubell President Linda Z. Haan WRJ/Sisterhood as the chair and with the help of Student Rabbi Goldstein, the committee will explore issues of Judaism and ecology, and help educate us all about the insights and obligations of our tradition. The committee will study the Mitzvah of baal tashchit, the biblical pro Jeri Sharpe hibition against the wanton destruction of nature, and find how as a Temple, as families, Men's Club of you know that there are plans for a new Environmental Learning Center at Footes and as a community, we can make it a guiding principle in our lives. In addition, some Richard Herbert Pond, just a few hundred feet from our property.

SHALOM From the President What better time is there to resolve to further your Jewish education than at the beginning to New Members of our Temple Family of a new year? And if learning more has been one of your resolutions, then this year Judy and Randy Aronoff Temple is providing more opportunities than ever to help you realize your goal. There is a wide array of choices, open to members and non-members alike. And except for the more advanced part of the Hebrew program, none of the classes has any prerequisites in terms of background knowledge. Jaime and Brian Basking Ridge Carol Ball Sara and Stephanie In the get-your-feet-wet category, there is the Sh'Earim (Gateways) program in which all Randolph members - especially new members - are invited to attend Member Orientation sessions Nan and Donald Barcan being held on two Sundays in October. Judaism on One Foot is a seminar series meeting Long Valley selected Sunday mornings to cover basic Jewish concepts. Karen and Lee Befeler For instruction in Hebrew, there are several classes available. The best way to get started is to participate in the immersion-style Hebrew Marathon (in early October) for those with little or no knowledge of the language. Following that is a progression of classes focussed on reading and understanding the Hebrew prayers: Hebrew I, Hebrew II (Adult BarlBat Mitzvah) and Adult Confirmation Class. Noah Chester Francine and Thomas Bianchini Stephanie and Daniel Morris Plains One of the most comprehensive classes is Introduction to Judaism, which is a sixteen week course under the auspices of the UAHC. This course is geared toward those con sidering converting to Judaism, as well as those Jewish adults interested in studying Judaism from an adult point of view. Other educational opportunities include Monday Night Jewish Studies, concentrating on the Talmud and the Bible; Shabbatot on three Friday evenings following services;. Teaching Services; and the Sunday Evening Book Club. And meeting on an ongoing basis are the Sisterhood Seminars on Understanding the Torah and the Men's Lunch Schmooze Group. Not to be missed are several educational events being held at Temple, including an Melissa and Jay Curwin Rebecca and Sara Morris Township Jane Dean Convent Station Ilene Fingeret Parsippany Hollie Goldberg Danielle and Jared October Men's Club Breakfast with ethnomusicologist Robert Cohen, a February Shabbat Randolph Study Kallah providing workshops on many aspects of Jewish life, and a Scholar in Mona and Robert Goldstein Residence Weekend in March featuring Danny Siegel, a highly acclaimed author and speaker who will provide informative, thought-provoking programs on a range of topics. Finally, I'd like to make you aware of the Significant Jewish Books Program, inspired by the UAHC's Reform Movement Literacy Initiative. UAHC President Rabbi Eric Yoffie writes, "I am recommending that we read four books a year that build on our foundation Jeremy and Derek Morris Plains Sarina and Ethan Grodo/sky Ariel and Aleeza MOWltain Lakes of common Jewish knowledge." Each issue of the quarterly periodical "Reform Judaism" TIna and Jeff Gross recommends two titles representing the best of Jewish literature, both fiction and nonfic Jonathan and Joshua tion. Furthermore, the Adult Jewish Growth website (http://uahcweb.orglbooks) provides a discussion guide and more. Randolph Nancy and Alan Kaminsky Whether or not your new year resolutions included furthering your Jewish education, the year is young and the offerings are enticing. I encourage you to enrich your life this year by taking part in as many of these exciting programs as you can. For details, watch the bulletin and flyers.

Our thoughts have turned inward as we examine ourselves and how we can improve our selves in the year ahead.
